Or?\" Dean Xu inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As deputy presidents, and being Top Grade Origin Martial Artists themselves, they had a much higher vision and understanding of the school's internal affairs than the average teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew that the so-called S-grade special training contract was aimed at the most outstanding 'ordinary students'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a standardized contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was used to train martial arts geniuses within the realm of normalcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there are always some geniuses in this world that defy convention, and they need to be handled with special measures to fully tap their potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, you know how it is, it's not something we can decide,\" President Li shook his head: \"But I will report to Dean Hai and explain Li Yuan's situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether to continue with the structured training or do something extra, that will be for Dean Hai to decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I asked you to come this time was actually with this in mind,\" President Li said with a smile: \"After all, to sign an SS-grade resource application, at least two deputy presidents need to agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan's explosive performance was completely beyond President Li's expectations, and his initial reason for inviting Dean Xu wasn't for Li Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, make the best of a bad situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Xu's face showed a bit more satisfaction: \"Old Li, this time you really put in some effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the SS-grade resource application regarding 'Li Yuan' could pass the review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, President Li, as the 'advising teacher', would definitely be credited with the primary merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the two deputy presidents who signed the form, 'Dean Xu' would also receive a certain guiding bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, our sibling relationship is well known, isn't it?\" President Li laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, President Li continued: \"Sister, what do you think our chances are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say.\" Dean Xu shook her head, pondering for a moment: \"Sixty percent, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just right, it seems Dean Hai is still on campus.

However, you have to treat me to a meal after we get back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, no problem,\" Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things, he could talk about with Teacher Li Yang, but couldn't discuss them with Qiu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just see over there?\" Qiu Jing suddenly pointed at the row of white stretchers in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan nodded slightly, his smile involuntarily fading a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My best friend from university died in the last combat assessment,\" Qiu Jing's eyes dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan's heart stirred, and he looked at Qiu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have no choice; the combat assessment is already the least life-threatening form of tempering we experience,\" Qiu Jing spoke softly, \"If we can't even survive the combat assessment... what will we do when we actually join the war?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, indicating his agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's continue to become stronger,\" Sister Qiu Jing laughed again all of a sudden, \"You're just in your first year and already stronger than me; I'm dying of envy. With such talent, you'll definitely become a very powerful Prime Warrior in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps even a Flying Heaven Warrior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By then, you'll really be able to kill a large number of Star Realm Creatures that threaten our Human Race,\" Qiu Jing said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two were chatting, suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu Jing, Li Yuan.\" A deep voice rang out from not far away; a bald middle-aged man stood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\" Both of them turned solemn at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good performance, Qiu Jing is sixth, Li Yuan is first,\" Li Yang showed a faint smile, \"Qiu Jing, wait here for the train to arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Yuan, come with me for a moment,\" Li Yang walked towards a house in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Li Yuan nodded and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Jing winked at Li Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Li Yang to a three-story building next to the square, they entered a conference room on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very quiet here, just Li Yuan and Li Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yang sat down in a chair without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher,\" Li Yuan displayed a trace of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've improved your strength very quickly,\" Li Yang finally looked up at Li Yuan, \"What level is your Physical Quality now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"12.6,\" Li Yuan mentioned a figure, it was no use hiding it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it couldn't be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you use some Heavenly Materials Treasures, or Forbidden Medicine?\" Li Yang got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not Forbidden Medicine; the teacher can check my body,\" Li Yuan only answered half the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Heavenly Materials Treasures or not, he didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the Starfire Martial Hall give it to you?\" Li Yang inquired, \"Previously, no information was passed on to me, did you sign a non-disclosure agreement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan stayed silent, his mind racing about how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The teacher understands,\" Li Yang believed he had seen through Li Yuan's thoughts, and said with a smile, \"The 'Fei Qian' of Starfire Martial Hall definitely told you not to discuss it with anyone, else it might attract covetous eyes, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan revealed a bitter smile, apparently feeling somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Heavenly Materials Treasure that enhances Physical Quality is all it is; we at Kunlun Martial University can protect you,\" Li Yang said with a laugh, \"As long as it's not Forbidden Medicine that affects potential, it's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone has secrets, especially geniuses.

First, let's ask for monthly tickets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, to mention a few things, one is that I had to go to the hospital for checks today, so the updates were slower, sorry. I initially thought that there wouldn't be any interruptions in the updates, so I didn't say anything in advance because, as everyone knows, when you're sick, no one knows what time the checkup results will come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, regarding update times, I will try to stabilize update times in the future, but I don't promise a specific time because it's very easy to fall short of what's promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm not used to keeping a backlog of written chapters. In nearly 10 years of writing, besides new releases and the launch where I force myself to save 5-10 chapters, I don't keep a backlog at other times. It's not that I can't keep a backlog, but having one significantly affects my writing state and spontaneous inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I prefer to make slight adjustments based on daily reader feedback, so apologies for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, regarding updates, I will definitely try my best to keep updating. I consider myself to be relatively quick with updates, but there's no need to rush me to be faster. I personally hope to find a balance between quality and the stability of my writing pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big long novel, purely chasing after update speed, can easily collapse. If it collapses, it's useless to write 100,000 words in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, I will strive for 3-4 updates, depending on my condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you all for your support!\u003C\u002Fp>",2089,"2026-06-02T11:53:44.215Z",1,"novelbin.me","c609afa67d5395c228169f6a74710fa32724c8ca735aaa20bfa8e03d56c50e04","high-level-martial-era-chapter-136","high-level-martial-era-chapter-134",1963,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-level-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
